Ladev is the First to Bust
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The action was picked up on a board 3♥4♦6♦ in a hand between Markkos Ladev and Kayhan Mokri. Ladev had got his last 60,000 into the middle and Mokri was trying to bust him.
Markkos Ladev: A♦K♦ 
Kayhan Mokri: 5♥5♠
Ladev had two overcards and a flush draw that he could hit to stay alive. The 7♥ turn improved Mokri to a straight, thus removing some of Ladev's outs. The 6♥ on the river was no help for Ladev, and he was the first player out of the tournament.
